why those who know what else was done,
cannot (and will not) forget or forgive:

warning! -
i would not read this unless it is broad daylight,
and there is someone there with U to hold Ur hand or empathize!
this is pure ugly - and the images may be haunting.

Distressingly haunting only touches upon one's feelings after reading this article.  I wish that these activities in which Vick - and other dogfighters - participated were more widespread.  Forgiveness might then not come so easily to many people.

"I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

i still remember the football-fan who said, *but they were HIS dogs!...* in a tone of righteous indignation, as if owning the animal made it permissible to do as U dam*ed well pleased with that animal, or TO that animal.  i was simply stunned -  i sat there blinking, unbelieving. 

the worst for me was that this was no street-dude - he was a college graduate, i was just appalled at his sheer callousness.  still leaves me shaking my head!
ppl are amazing - in many ways, some good, some not so.  :--(

and to that we say "but they're my children I MADE THEM, to which the state says _________

Sorry guys animals cruelty is part of the path to "bigger" things.  Walking down it IS a crime, if you can harm (truly, not hunt for sustenance) a pet then you need help to prevent what comes next!


(shudder)

is it ok if I bypass the vid, like my preggo self needs yet ANOTHER reason to jack up my blood pressure, lol!

So disturbing...He is not even human and could never actually "pay" for what he did. The laws/ penalties need to be stiffer..I refuse to watch him in any game.. people pay to watch this looser, this monster ..My dogs get an extra hug I know whatever they endored before me was not so nearly horrific and to think when I look into thier eyes I feel such strong hope that the people who abuse will some how pay the price..When my hubby saw Buddy's scar and heard some of his story he looked like he was about to cry..big 6 foot tall man cuddled this dog in his arms and told him no one will ever lay a hand on him again! I wonder what comes first compassion or understanding? I do not believe MV has either nor will he ever in this world pay a price for what he has done..
